The Information Symbol
The big question mark of the
Information Symbol guides people to a place where they can get answers.
The symbol may be positioned on a map, a brochure or a sign. If you
have a place in your business where people with disabilities can
go to get information, please consider making it more accessible
by marking it with the Information Symbol.
The most valuable commodity
of today’s society is information.
For example, a person with a disability needs to know where to find
certain information about access and accommodations. The Information
Symbol can be a useful way to highlight where thisinfo is located.
For example, the symbol may be placed on signage or on a floor plan
brochure to indicate the location of the help desk or security desk.
The symbol may also indicate a place that provides more specific
information or materials concerning accommodations or services, such
as “LARGE PRINT” materials, audio cassette recordings
of materials, or sign interpreted tours.
Access Press wishes
to encourage all of our readers and advertisers—individuals,
corporations, non-profit agencies and private companies — to
incorporate disability access symbols into the services you provide.
It is good business to let everyone know that you are accessible.
